Well, now isn't this curious, my M5 was already going to Sherry, and the 
latest rolls I developed have very thin spaces between the frames. Do you all 
think the same problem? Just curious, she's going back for a good CLA, anyway.

 I expect Sherry should be contacted but I thought you people might
 prescribe a simple remedy.  (Please, no black tape).
